Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for March 17, 2009

Whine, whine, whine, that’s all you do! Roar, you tigerrrr, you!

That Bill Hinds. He must have the narrowest circle of friends ever.

Only do tigers, indeed!

When did they name a middle school after Bill Hinds?

She could have at least given him a feral undead tiger face….

If they name a Middle School after me, I get to make the rules! First, I’ll reverse all the grades (6th, 7th and 8th), and see if I can create a traffic jam with the kids coming up from Elementary School.

Beware of Bill Hinds! The evil Bill Hinds! He trades face tigers For control of you minds!

Bill Hinds Middle School is an evil place. Let’s burn it to the ground!

I’ve never named the school that the kids in Cleats attend. I kind of like Wally Pipp Middle School. Deep trivia there.

I took Bill’s bait, here’s a nice little summary: http://www.thediamondangle.com/archive/oct01/pipp.html

I would love to go to BHMS. You never have class, just sports and sometimes cookies from Grandma!

Isn’t Bill Hinds Middle School the one with a fleet of short buses out front?

Bill Hinds Middle School sounds fun! (Bill, are most of your main characters pre-middle school–5th or 6th grade?)

6th.

It must be hard to hunt with no arms.
